Trump calls on Russia, Syria, Iran to halt Idlib bombardment

BEIRUT, LEBANON (8:45 A.M.) – U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted on Sunday evening that he was “hearing word” that Russia, Syria, and to a lesser extent, Iran, were indiscriminately bombing the Idlib province.

“Hearing word that Russia, Syria and, to a lesser extent, Iran, are bombing the hell out of Idlib Province in Syria, and indiscriminately killing many innocent civilians. The World is watching this butchery. What is the purpose, what will it get you? STOP!”

Last year, Trump tweeted something similar in regards to the Syrian government’s attack on the Idlib province. He would later take credit for halting the Syrian military’s operation in Idlib, despite an agreement between Turkey and Russia to implement a ceasefire and demilitarized zone around the province.

In regards to Iran, the country is not involved in the northwestern Syria campaign, as this is currently led by the military forces of Syria and Russia.

The Syrian military’s operation in northwestern Syria began in early May; it has resulted in the capture of several areas in the Hama province, including the jihadist strongholds of Qal’at Al-Madiq and Kafr Naboudeh.

Ever since Trump talked of pulling out of Syria everything has the distinct smell of both US and Israel attempting to provoke a retaliation of some kind to justify to their ignorant supporters the need to go to war with Iran specifically and to finish off in Syria what has failed to transpire so far. All of the troop and military equipment , task force off the coast , Israel entering Syrian territory against all International laws , increased bombing and outright attacks on Syrian personnel, the bellicose b/s have one purpose alone , .

Peter Wallace : if it comes to a war on Iran – Thanks to its numerous proxy or direct actions, there are “just” 56 countries Iranian regime provided a casus belli to! Even Panama or Argentina legally entitled to go after Iran since Hezbollah did bombings in both countries and neither ceasefire nor peace treaty have been signed, Iran started a war on them, no matter if they attacked directly or used proxy, under the Hague Convention, it’s the SAME thing! Oooops, I should have said 57! Since IRGC frogmen bombed a Norwegian oil tanker a few weeks ago, Iran… Read more »

C’mon, DJT, even Brett McGurk said Idlib was the worst Qaeda nest since 9-11 in Afghanistan!
USA should help cleansing the place, maybe by creating an interdiction zone at the border, barring Turkish resupply in weapons/ammos and troops. Such thing would soon suffocate Qaedans, thus facilitating pest control.
Do Yankees have forgotten WTC?
